Silent E is a song about a criminal that "makes vowels say their names" which causes words to change, and objects to transform. It focuses on short and long vowel sounds.
The song is performed by the late Babi Floyd from 14 Karat Soul. The segments were animated by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions.

Trivia[]
- The song has two variations: pin/pine and cap/cape.
- However, a 3rd variation appears in Episode 97: Moon Rope/Welcome to the Moon & Episode 118: The Emperor's New Clothes/The Hungry Coat. This version skips the intro & after the cop drags Silent E to jail, his body disappears, leaving only the E. A narrator then whispers "Silent E" and the clip ends. Because of this, it could possibly be implied that the officer has decided to put Silent E in solitary confinement to prevent himself from escaping once again.
- When the announcer says, "It's a plan, it's a plane, it's Silent E man!", this is a reference to the Superman movie phrase "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!"
